Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

They come and go in seconds sometimes. Blink and they’ve gone. Have you filled all your profiling information in?
if you keep your laptop on, it’s worth downloading the prolific assistant extension on chrome so you get the alerts.

Thanks elsien. Profile completed. Perhaps I’m just missing them. I’m just checking on my phone. Perhaps laptop would be better - will give it a go.

Seen this one three times this afternoon, and every time I try to join it, it says the researcher has paused the study and it's no longer available. They must be following coronavirus rules and only letting six people in at a time, I reckon.

Joined about 2 weeks ago and sadly not had a survey yet. Profile is 100% complete. I keep the page open on my phone all day and check frequently. Does it work on the mobile all right?

Something odd here: I returned this one because it required me to come up with ideas rather than just evaluate them, and I didn't think 38p was worth it - but then I received payment anyway. It's showing in my submissions as "Returned," but also showing the 38p payment. Has anyone else ever had this happen?

Careful on the returns after various support tickets about not getting anything and having manual verification done, prolific finally decided i dont meet there criteria and so no longer eligible.

Stats were 4,257 submissions 103 rejections however only thing from last couple months were 19 returns (instead of usual 2-3) so they definitely dont like members doing this.

I would sincerely hope they're not black-marking you because of this, as their help page on returned studies explicitly says: "It will not affect your Prolific account or ability to participate in more studies in any way."
